Sufis and Saints have always
played a major role in making India a great country. The
Ganga-Jamuni culture of India owes much to their immense
contribution. Khwaja Sahib not only contributed in lying the
foundation of religiously tolerant India but also taught their
followers to live unitedly and respect the feelings of each
other.

Khwaja Sahib came to India in the 12th century. At this time
round, Khwaja Sahib through his spiritual teachings and love
healed the wounds of both the Muslilms and the Hindus. This gave
them peace. In the large following of Khwaja Sahib, there were
both Muslims and the Hindus. The objective of Khwaja Sahib was
to fight against exploitation and violence and promote and
spread Islam. He himself practiced the teachings of Islam and
influenced the non-Muslims. Religions of Islam does not allow to
talk ill about anybody and Khwaja Sahib strictly adhered to this
teaching of Islam. He never talked ill about anybody. Also, he
never tried to build up the wall of hate between the two
communities. He always tried to promote communal harmony between
the various communities, especially the Hindus and Muslims. And
he definitely got success in this endeavor, influenced by his
teachings, people themselves would come to him and become his
disciples. He would teach the lesson of love and humanity to
all. The objective of Hazrat Sahib was to promote unity and
communal harmony.

Even the statements by another great saint Guru Nanak Ji said
that Khwaja Sahib played an important role in promoting national
integration in the country. According to Guru Nanak Ji, Khwaja
Sahib always adhered to the principles of Islam. He never used
violence to spread his mission.

The HOLY SHRINE of Khwaja Sahib is a living example of national
integration. Everyday hundreds of devotees come to the HOLY
SHRINE to pay their obeisance. Since his devotees also includes
non-Muslims, meat is never served in community as langar. The
turban and the duppattas that are distributed here, also
represent Indian culture. Not only this, the festival of Basant
Panchami is also celebrated in the HOLY SHRINE with equal zeal
and fervor. A yellow colour chaddar is also offered on this
occasion.

Hundred of Hindu and Muslim traders visit HOLY SHRINE in the
morning before commencing their day. Many even open their shops
after getting their keys touched with the gate of HOLY SHRINE.
